Does amount have to be negative for expense categories during imports?

[femto-code]

I am building a mapper that maps my bank statements to a CSV file format readable by ezbookkeeping. Now, I need to know whether the ezbookkeeping import utility expects the amounts to be negative for expense categories? Or does it work as well with all positive?

I tried in earlier versions and an import with all amounts positive regardless of category (income or expense) produced a really weird situation where a negative amount for a transaction categorized as expense was inversely then recorded as income due to the sign.

Thank you for this great app.

In ezBookkeeping, amounts are typically positive values. For expense transactions, the amount represents the amount spent.
